ps: So what!Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a collection!Ask for a reward!Ask for an evaluation!

"My Great Tomorrow Dynasty has been established for 270 years since Taizu established the tripod. It is deeply benevolent and generous. For those who come from afar, the ancestors and ancestors will not treat them with kindness. During the Wanli and Tianqi years, they bowed down to their mutual market and allowed them to be in the Tian Dynasty. Missionary; the Celestial Dynasty uses its persuasiveness to persuade people to do good, and persuasively agrees to what it asks. At the beginning, it was within my scope and obeyed my constraints.

The Celestial Dynasty subdues the distant people softly, to the point of exhaustion.However, they didn't know how to be grateful, and threatened instead.On June [-]th of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Eryi rebelled against Shang Wedel bombarded Humen for no reason.On the second day of August, they took advantage of the false attack on our town and looted thirty hogs.Destroy my fort on the fourth day of August, and burn one of my galleons.The heavenly court puts benevolence and morality first, and refuses to start a quarrel, for fear of hurting the ears of our people.However, it is rude for you to rebel against the barbarians, and to attack me with arbitrariness, supervision and weaponry, and break up with yourself?

You and the rest of the barbarians do not respect benevolence and righteousness today, but only rely on force.I will respond with force!Let Er Niyi know whether my sword is sharp or not! "

On the boat going down the river to the east, Master Zhang Jingxin read the document written by Li Shouhan to rebel against the barbarians. Although the words and sentences seemed a bit rough to him, the heroic spirit in the words seemed to jump out between the lines.

The fleet quickly passed the surface of the Lion Ocean, passed the Danshui River, Yongtai Wai, and on both sides of the Pearl River, a large group of people began to sail across the river.

Judging from the flags, armored weapons, and marching ranks, these teams should be the army horses of Guangdong Province who received the order of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi to go to Humen to fight against the barbarians.

Sure enough, it was the local soldiers from Guangdong who sent the Superintendent Chinese Army to contact them. After learning that the Governor-General went to Humen to fight against the Niyi with Li Shou Hannan Chinese Army, who was known to be capable of fighting, the morale of the battalions and horses everywhere was high.They came one after another.

In order to compete for the road, several soldiers also fought, and quite a few were beaten black and blue.

However, after passing Yongtai Wai, the speed of the fleet and land marches slowed down.

"My lord! Humen Water is not far ahead! Do you want to send an officer to contact Master Li to avoid misunderstanding?!"

Hearing the faint sound of cannons in the distance, the general of the Chinese army in the Supervising Biao Battalion spoke to Mr. Zhang Jingxin with some concern.

"You might as well invite your lord to go ashore on the water surface of Jinsha Temple, then station at Jinsha Temple, supervise and lead all the troops and horses, and order Li Shouhan to come to visit. At the same time, coordinate and mobilize all the troops and horses to attack together!"

The master in charge of the manuscripts in the shogunate twitched a few beards in the gesture of Zhuge Liang's feather fan and scarf.

Honestly.Zhang Jingxin didn't have the courage and guts to take the risk personally. From the bottom of his heart, he thought that kind of behavior was done by ordinary people, and it was definitely not what a decent official like him should do.

but.Such an approach.It is easy to give people a reason to talk.Crimes such as fearing the enemy like a tiger, avoiding war and so on will rain down like raindrops.Now is the time for the imperial court to rely on Li Shouhan, and I am afraid that his inscription will be approved immediately.

Weighing the pros and cons in his mind, a sand boat headed upstream towards the governor's fleet.

"Who is so bold! Don't look at the flag of the governor on board!"

The person who came was an officer from the Dapeng Battalion in Guangdong.

"Marshal Li has issued a military order to this point! Now the campaign to suppress the Niyi has been launched. All the troops will stay where they are! Don't act without authorization! Don't let the Niyi take advantage of you!"

The officer who came was just a general, but he was arrogant and full of ambition.

"Bastard! The governor came to conquer the rebellious barbarians, but you and the others came to block them, what is it?!"

Mr. Zhang's anger was about to be directed at Mr. Qian.

The general in charge of the Chinese army who supervised the bid drew out his sword from his waist, and was about to behead Qian Zong at the bow of the boat.

"I came here on the orders of Marshal Li. If you have any questions, you can ask Marshal Li after the battle is over! However, please rest for a while, sir, so as not to be injured by the artillery fire."

Although Mr. Qian was so frightened that his face turned pale, he said something calmly, thinking he came prepared.

As if to explain his words, there was a huge sound of gunfire from the ocean to the east, and the trembling teacup on the governor's desk trembled slightly.

"Alright! I'll listen to you bastard! If there is a mistake in the battle and the military aircraft is delayed, I must ask the Emperor Sword King to order the flag to chop off your head to police the army!"

"My lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to decapitate my subordinates. My Dapeng Battalion has been incorporated by Marshal Li, and it can be regarded as a part of the Navy of the South China Army. Right now we belong to Liao Dongzhi and Master Liao!"

"To be honest, my lord, you see that most of the soldiers and horses on both sides of the Pearl River have been under the control of Marshal Li, and the food, pay and military affairs are all at his disposal. Therefore, my lord, please go to Jinsha Temple to rest first, and wait for Marshal Li to finish fighting the red-haired rebels." Yi, it's not too late for you to go see me again."

Zhang Jingxin was trembling with anger when he heard Mr. Qian's "rebellious" words, but he couldn't cope with it. He just kept mumbling to himself, "You bastard! You bastard!"

The guerrillas who supervised the Chinese army came up and blasted Mr. Qian aside and ordered the fleet to berth at Jinsha Temple.

Humen's gunfire gradually stopped.

"It's really useless! I thought that people who can travel thousands of miles across the sea can be very good at fighting and can practice well, but I don't want to be so useless!"

Li Huamei was bored playing with the binoculars in her hand on her Qihai gunboat.

Just now, when Shou Han led the navy of the South China Army to press towards the waters of Humen from the Pearl River Estuary and Guangzhou City, Weddell's East India Company fleet realized that the momentum was not good.

The largest of my five ships is only five or six hundred tons, and they also carry all kinds of goods looted and bought from nearby cities and towns. The entire fleet has less than thirty artillery pieces of various types, and even the Guangdong navy dare not go Doing a head-to-head match, how can it be the opponent of the South China Army navy who defeated the Dutch fleet? !

"Sir! Look! The Roaring Dutchman is going to break out to the south bank! Shall we also escape the Pearl River Estuary along the south bank?"

An armed merchant ship of the East India Company tried to rush from the waters of Humen to the south bank of the Pearl River before the navy of the South China Army completed the encirclement, using its small displacement and shallow draft as a yellow croaker. escape through the mesh.Out of the Pearl River estuary, as for what is outside the Pearl River estuary, we will talk about it at that time!

"Okay! Let's start with this English ship!" Standing on her beloved gunboat, Li Huamei looked at this English merchant ship with a deep draft and obviously sinking heavily on the side of the ship. A group of sailors on the ship were nervously maneuvering Hanging the sails, there are also a dozen gunners nervously preparing to fire ammunition on the guns on the side of the ship.

"Okay! Miss! Just look at it!"

Li Huamei's ship is her birthday present. Li Peiting allocated money from the dividends from his return from Liaodong to the shipyard to customize it. Originally, he planned to build a ship no less than Shou Han's current flagship, and he didn't want to be left behind by Shou Han The order for the ship was found in the contract documents of the

"Children. How can they play with such a big boat as soon as they come up? Let's talk about my boat first!" So Li Huamei reluctantly accepted the old boat that her father eliminated for her.but.It's not a completely old ship, at least the guns, sail anchors, etc. are new.And the hull itself has been repainted.

Shi Lang's eyes almost burst into flames when he saw the boat as an eye-opener.

"I don't know when I will be able to command such a gunboat!"

Today is the first battle between Li Huamei and Shi Lang and others at the mouth of the Pearl River.

However, Li Huamei did not wait for the Qihai to adjust the muzzle.A brig in the slant relies on its small size.The advantages of fast speed and equally shallow draft rushed out.

It was a gunboat equipped with two Cron cannons as the main firepower.Although there are only two main guns, it is strong in the weight of the shells. The 68-pound shell requires the concerted efforts of four or five gunners to complete the loading.Because it takes a lot of effort to load, the gunners either don't load it, or they must shoot out the shells in the barrel after loading!

Because it would be a hard job to take out the huge shells again.

"Greatly compassionate Guanshiyin Bodhisattva! Uncover the truth and reveal the truth, and the paramita reveals the truth."

The gunner of the Kron gun squinted his eyes, checked the distance and azimuth of the "Roaring Dutchman" from the ship with the sextant in his hand and the observer next to him, and shot Zhu Yuan, while silently reciting the Buddha's name.

This Chinese artillery commander who joined the army in Siam was also a half-baked Buddhist disciple under the influence of the prosperity of the local Theravada Buddhism.Although he believes in Buddhism, it does not prevent him from eating fish and meat every meal, and drinking a few sips when he is free. There are three women in the family who have raised six or seven children for him.

For the sake of military merit and to feed these women and children, one must kill the enemy well!

"Even if you are as merciful as a Buddha, when you encounter evil spirits and heretics, you must also use supreme magic power, supreme supernatural powers, and the power of diamonds to subdue demons and defend the way."

He found a theoretical basis for his killing behavior very well.

"The red-haired Niyi ship is about a thousand steps away from our ship!"

The rangefinder cautiously reported the distance between the roaring Dutchman and the brig.

"The elevation angle of the bow's main gun muzzle is five degrees!"

"Load!"

"Send it in the medicine bag!"

Several ammunition hands naked in the upper body roared in unison, and quickly picked up the ammunition cart according to the amount of ammunition, wrapped it with oil paper according to the distance, and quickly opened it to stuff the silk ammunition inside into the barrel of the gun. .

"The medicine package is ready!"

After he flashed out, the pusher nimbly moved the push rod in his hand, and with just one stroke, the charge was sent deep into the bottom of the gun bore.

laugh!

The sharp iron awl pierced through the door of the fire, instantly piercing the silk medicine bag inside.A medicine-priming hand stepped forward, swiftly inserting the goose-feather letter tube in his hand deeply into the fire door.Twist it with your fingers to confirm that it has been inserted into the medicine bag.

While these people were busy at the rear of the gun, several ammunitionists lifted a huge and heavy solid iron ball from the ammunition box next to the gun position and stuffed it into the gun bore.

The gunners have clear positions, clear responsibilities, graceful and skillful movements, like flowing clouds and flowing water. If it is not in this killing battlefield, just from their appearance, it will give people the feeling that they are not preparing artillery for killing and destroying, but are engaged in a battle. The art of door elegance.

It's just that the art is a little cruel.

"Move faster! Don't be a pussy! Quick, quick!"

The gunner is still urging the gunners to quickly complete the loading process.

Unlike other troops, the artillery teams of the navy and land battalion cannot use the number of beheadings to measure their military exploits. The assessment is all on the preparation and shooting of artillery.Which artillery can fire fast, accurately, and well is not only related to the honor of the gunners.There are also real economic benefits in it. The artillery manual of the South China Army stipulates that for the first hit against an enemy ship, the whole gun will be rewarded with fifty silver dollars, the gunner will be rewarded with another ten dollars, and the observer will be rewarded with four dollars.

"Come closer! The red-haired barbarian is going to escape along the river bank along the Pearl River. Let's stick it up and aim at its waterline! Give it a big rip!"

The captain of the gunboat guessed the intention of the "Roaring Dutchman" through the binoculars, and there were bursts of grinning on his face.If one cannon can sink a Niyi ship, that would be a great achievement!

Although people at this time did not know the knowledge of artillery ballistics.But I also know that at a certain distance, the cannon fires in a straight line.

"Okay! Get close and shoot! Stick it within [-] steps! It will be done with one shot!"

The Pearl River is surging.A very strange scene appeared on the river: four British merchant ships were assembled near Humen, and they were a little at a loss in the face of the seven or eight naval ships of the South China Army headed by the Qihai that surrounded them. The roaring Dutchman was desperately moving towards the waterway near the river bank.on his side.The brig's forward main guns were already pointing their black muzzles at him.In the ups and downs of the waves, the distance with him is constantly shortened.

But just as the two boats started a chase, a puff of white smoke rose.There was a loud bang.

Just behind the side of the two-masted brig, an identical two-guarded brig on patrol and security missions along the main channel of the center of the Pearl River, while the huge mortar gun placed on the bow spewed out dense white smoke, the gap between the muzzles There is still a faint flicker of cannon flames, and the [-]-pound cannonball is pushed out of the barrel by the huge driving force of the gunpowder. The huge projectile whistling out, spinning at high speed in the air, constantly tearing the surrounding air, sending out bursts of sharp and piercing noises. ring.

"Boom!"

A huge shell entered the water near the bow of the armed merchant ship "Roaring Dutchman", splashing a water column as thick as a water tank. The water column dispersed, and the captain who stood at the bow and directed the escape was very enthusiastic. baptism.

"Damn it! Such a big shell! These heretics are crazy!"

The captain wiped the river water from his face, trying to resume observation of the situation in front of him as soon as possible.

"My God!"

"Du Lei, old mother!"

The Guangdong officers and soldiers running around in a mess on the south bank of the Pearl River were startled by the power of this huge shell and clicked their tongues.

It seems that our decision to obey General Li's restraint is absolutely correct.This kind of artillery is not to mention dealing with a few red-haired rebellious barbarians, even against thieves and clans with deep ditches and high fortifications and towers, it is easy to catch!

"Fourth Lei! You are fucking fighting with me, aren't you!"

The captain of the brig who was struggling to catch up here jumped on the bow and cursed at the mortar and gunboat.

"How far are we from that damn Niyi?!"

"My lord! About five hundred steps up and down!"

"Do you want to get closer?!"

"Close?! Get close to his mother! If you get too close, Lei Laosi will take all the credit! Fire!"

"boom!"

With the fall of the small red flag in the captain's hand, the 68-pound Cron gun shells flew out of the barrel.Under the farewell of white smoke and flames, a scorching bullet mark was quickly drawn in the air, and flew towards the waterline of the "Roaring Dutchman" [-] paces away at a speed that seemed to be observable by the naked eye. .

Seeing the huge shells in mid-air approaching ferociously close to the surface of the river, the captain of the "Roaring Dutchman" felt panic and fear in his heart. This feeling is like facing the huge waves on the Atlantic Ocean, the Ottoman pirates, and the artillery fire of the Dutch. Sometimes, never before, for a while, he didn't know whether to operate the ship forward or backward, and how to avoid the menacing artillery fire.

The shells roared, and with the screams of the sailors on the ship, they landed not far from the hull, and when they shot into the water, they stirred up a huge column of water.

Immediately afterwards, a huge shock came from the bottom of the ship's side. Although the shells of the Cron gun entered the water, they did not stop, and penetrated the hull of the "Roaring Dutchman" below the waterline. Silt gushes in, expanding the breach continuously.

"We're here to see you off, too!"

Lei Laosi, the captain of the mortar gun boat who had been cursed for a long time, saw the panicked scene of the sailors on the "Roaring Dutchman" through the binoculars. cabin.

"Is the shell loaded?!"

“I’ll be right soon!”

The gunner of the mortar panted heavily to answer the captain's urging.

The four gunners of the mortar lift the shell hanging rod and hang the shell with the hook in the middle of the pole. With the assistance of the gunner, the four work together to insert the shell into the barrel.Then forcefully adjust the mortar to the elevation angle measured by the gunner, and then quickly use an iron lever to place the iron pad on the bottom of the mortar to fix the elevation angle of the mortar. After completing this series of actions, several gunners have already All that's left is to breathe.

"fire!"

"If this shot misses again, I don't have the strength to reload the third shot." A gunner muttered to himself.

"It's okay! If you can't hit it, I will help you load it! Everyone on the ship is a loader!" Lei Laosi stood at the bow of the ship fiercely and stared at the cannonball that drew a beautiful arc in midair.

"boom!"

The shell landed on the bow of the Roaring Dutchman.

Immediately, the captain who was standing at the bow and directing the sailors to conduct damage control was chopped off, leaving only a pool of blood on the wooden board.

The [-]-pound shell directly hit the bow of the ship with extremely brutal force, smashed through several layers of ship boards, and fell directly into the bottom cabin. The screams from the crew kept coming.

On the deck, the crew members who were nervously adjusting the sails and rigging just now were hit by the many pieces of wood that were shot in all directions after the shells smashed through the planks, puff puff puff puff!As the sound of muscles being pierced by wood chips suddenly sounded on the deck, screams and flesh and blood intertwined on the "Roaring Dutchman" for a while.

The blood formed a series of blood arrows and spurted out on the crew members!

The kinetic energy brought by the [-]-pound mortar shells was very powerful, and the wooden boards of the hull itself were smashed into countless pieces of wood by the huge shells.

Their irregular shapes, like sharp blades, fly all over the place, not to mention that these crew members only have a cotton shirt, and they are soldiers in heavy armor. The flying killers have nothing to do.

For a time, the Roaring Dutchman suffered many casualties.

"Let's go up!"

The barrel of the Cron gun has been reloaded with ammunition, ready to go up and make another shot. (To be continued..)
